'Twas the Season
For these fun things.
Tomorrow it will become an elaborate bird-feeder (which the 100 pound squirrels will quickly demolish. Sigh. It's hard to like urban squirrels.)
But along with cheerful indoor trees, there were other reasons to smile, like eating sausage;
Eating chocolate, at bedtime, no less!
And having a wonderful time with Sharky while she stayed with us for Christmas. Urban cats are easy to like - at least this one. And she is smaller than the squirrels! And doesn't steal the birds' food!
And today, the best gift, 20 cm of new snow, and some temperature warmer than -20. For a few hours, anyway.
The wind is howling around this old house tonight, but the small one is sleeping and the snow is all shoveled into a fun toddler maze in the backyard, and even a couple of forts. Happy New Year!
